transition between fast and slow fiber

id: GO:0014883
name: transition between fast and slow fiber
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The process of conversion of fast-contracting muscle fibers to a slower character. This may involve slowing of contractile rate, slow myosin gene induction, increase in oxidative metabolic properties, altered electrophysiology and altered innervation. This process also regulates skeletal muscle adapatation.
